At the vert start of the vid, with the girl dancing, is that an MBV song?

[irishmusiccentral]

@SeedsofJoy ..no the first 7secs is just a piece of Irish trad music. the song form 0:07 to 0:25 is MBV's "Soon".

lol

[irishmusiccentral]

@deltafoverdeltax If I ever make an album, I want it to go horribly wrong too!

[brenfen]

Anybody know the name of the song beginning at 1.16?

[irishmusiccentral]

@brenfen it's called "Swallow" from the Tremolo EP

[J6larson]

Saw them in Chicaco at the Metro in '92 on my 17th birthday. There were a lot of leather jacket wearing metalheads in the crowd. Kevin came out and solo'd for like 20 minutes cuz the metal heads were heckling him. He cleared the floor of all the fakes. There were only a few of us left on the floor, I went straight up to the front smiling ear to ear, completely into it and they played loveless cover to cover. Best day of my life.

I love OK Computer. I love the songs off Nevermind, but it sounds overproduced to me, these days. I don't think that's Nirvana's fault, though.

Loveless is a timeless, gorgeous, mindfuck of a masterpiece. As far as '90s albums go, I prefer Curve's Doppelganger and U2's Achtung Baby. But, for shear originality, sonic terror and the "Oh my God I've never heard anything like this before in my life, what the hell is this" factor, Loveless is in a league of its own.

Brilliant with a capital F.

[zoooooopopo]

"get out of ireland" good advice.

[AMP4ii3Kit]

he reminds me of Andrew from MGMT

[hsieno]

@scarf1313 the song is called swallow, off the tremolo EP

[basehead617]

he's pretty cool but humble? definitely not.. the man is an egomaniac the likes of which have never been seen before in the UK

[scarf1313]

@irishmusiccentral can you tell me what the song starting around 1:19 is that goes to 2:20

[splinter360]

Kevin Shields seems like a very, very humble and cool man. He also seems like the guy whos not the loudest but probably says the most significant things. Makes me love My Bloody valentine more after seeing this vid.

Sorry, but "Only Shallow" is one of my least favorite songs by this band. And it was used like 5 times in this video.

[monkeypeas]

@SeedsofJoy I think he may be talking about at the very start "Dirt" by Death in Vegas plays very briefly.
